‘Treasure hunters’ buying collectibles, gold and silver in Marble Falls
MARBLE FALLS — It’s not a common purchase, but Jason Von Lanken of THR & Associates recalled one of his most expensive — a guitar.
It wasn’t just any guitar, but a vintage Les Paul, he said. And he wrote the owner of the guitar a check for $100,000.
